WE GOT A CALL There is a koala in the reserve at the bottom of Bagnalls Bch Rd with a cough, had a similar call the day before. The lady calling is a friend of mine and is prepared to wait till a rescuer gets there. I call Peter and give him her phone number and directions and sent him off.with some assistance from Rebecca & Jay, because it ended up being a pole rescue, the koala is now at my place. He has been called Maxx after Maxine who stayed with him for so long, and as yet I have not heard him cough. He is 7kg and very young, he has sat in the one place all night but eaten well. Pellets are great and is doing nice wees. He saw Don this morning and had a clear chest. I am keeping him for 24 hrs observations and if no cough he will be released tomorrow, if he coughs he is to have 1 weeks Chloramphenical. He was chipped this morning SUE.
